as root in /usr/bin
I entered ./crontab -e

but a screen full of "~"
I'm not familiar with cron at all

Login as root and run setup to configure your system data format.

Then, create a cron file for root by running:

# crontab -e

with the following lines:

0 12 * * * /usr/bin/rdate -s clock.psu.edu
5 12 * * * /sbin/clock -w

That will give your system a daily update of the time and write it to the
CMOS clock. Of course, this works only if you have internet access at noon
every day.
